firefox nolonger opens a page in a background tab when i middle click, the setting is set to open in background tab, but when i middle click on a link it always switches to the new tab or a random tab that is already open. i have tried installing firefox again with no luck, what can i do to get this back to opening them in the background when i middle click as its now become annoying
